Sometimes it can feel like exercise is challenging before you even begin: How much should I exercise? How often should I exercise? What if it’s cold or rainy or I’m just too busy? It can be even more difficult to understand how much the kids in your family should move. Let’s break things down:

Go apple picking, grab a pumpkin from your local farmer’s market, or pick up decorative gourd from the grocery store. Whichever you choose, get a few extra – these uniquely shaped objects can make for some fun tossing and rolling games, indoors or out!
